Saif Ali Khan: If Padmavati Releases, We Will Shift Kaalakaandi

Saif Ali Khan’s quirky film Kaalakaandi is again in the news! The makers released its trailer yesterday and it has received well from the fans.

The film which had a tough time with the Censor Board, is now finally releasing. Putting all the rumours to rest that the film will only release on Netflix, the makers have finally announced the release date and it is now coming on January 12, 2018.

But yesterday, at the trailer launch event of Kaalakaandi, Saif asserted that there may be some changes in the release date if Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Padmavati hits the theatres on January 12. Though, there is no clarity from the makers of Padmavati about its next release date. The Salaam Namaste actor said, “If Padmavati comes in [on that day], we will think of shifting our release date. I hope we don’t have to do that. Kaalakaandi is a film I am proud of.” We all know that most of the filmmakers and production house avoid clashing at the box office but the Nawab Khan believes that the different genres of films releasing on the same day show the diversity that Cinema can offer. “It would have been nice to see Kaalakaandi releasing with Padmavati, as it shows that we have a film industry, which makes different kinds of movies. Recently, we saw Secret Superstar and Golmaal Again releasing on the same day and both films did well. Personally, I feel it’s a good time to have films releasing alongside one another. But filmmakers are wary about it and you need to take that into consideration,” he said.
